Bollywood Movie Review

Thursday, September 24, 2009

I use jhankar.pk. I don't know if anyone else does. The primary use I have for it is to cross-check it against my music collection, to make sure that I have absolutely every single bollywood songs by the bollywood movies, and bands that I love. Additionally, if I'm in one of those moods to categorize my music, I'll use Jhankar.pk as a guide for genres and styles.

Once in a while I'd read the snippets about artists too, but generally it's better to rely on Wikipedia for that, as I tend to get distracted by the highlighting of other bands' names in the text. As well, I don't like having to click on "read more". I just sought out that one artist, isn't it slightly obvious that I would want to read more??? It makes zero sense for me to target one thing in particular and then have to click on a link to read more about it.

jhankar.pk also has a section for music reviews, mobile videos, ringtones, flash games and much more.

For those of us located in the Western portion of the world, we often think of all thingsEastern as being very similar to each other. However, when you are talking about Indian andPakistani music, movies, and music videos, nothing could be farther from the truth.One glaring example of this difference is the music videos made in India and Pakistan fromtheir popular film soundtracks. While both types of music play a big part in the movies ofthe countries, India’s Bollywood songs and the music of Pakistan are very different indeed.Pakistani songs generally contain much more meaning and less of the typical Bollywood overlymelodic dance numbers and sounds in their songs. This can easily be seen in the online musicvideos of both regions. While viewing online videos of Bollywood songsand Pakistani songsyou can clearly see differences in the two. Bollywood songs tend to have more skin showingin their videos than do those of Pakistani songs. This is a direct result of the fact thatBollywood movies are much more tolerant of the showing of skin and sexual overtones than those made in Pakistan.

The Pakistani people tend to be much more traditional in their views than those of currentday India.

As well, while watching online videos of both you quickly notice that where Bollywoodsongs are overly dramatic and have production dance numbers in them, Pakistani songstend tocontain more of a meaningful storyline. The Pakistani musicand video makers have their ownstyle which does not rely on large dance numbers to get their point across to viewers. Withthe explosion of the Internet, and the ease of availability of online videos, it is mucheasier today for people all over the world to view music videos and listen to the songscoming out of both India and Pakistan.
